Vanessa Bryant Renominated

Yesterday, President Bush renominated Superior Court Judge Vanessa L. Bryant to the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

Judge Bryant's nomination has been controversial: she received a rare rating of unqualified by both the Connecticut and American Bar Associations, placing her in an extremely small category of nominees. (See here and here for my coverage of those announcements.) Although she has the backing of the Governor, both our senators and the state attorney general (see here) her nomination -- along with several highly controversial nominations -- languished last fall.
